Cherry Red Dream

[Intro]
[Verse]
Morning at the dress shop
Steam against the window pane
Ironing the silk tops
Waiting for the summer rain
Then I see him walking
Right across the avenue
Heart starts its talking
Lord, what am I gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the street fair's humming
Can you hear the drummer coming?
(Drummer coming!)
My knees start to shake
Every single breath I take
[Chorus]
Cherry red dream (Ooh, baby)
Sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
Meet me at the sock hop
Underneath the string lights
Don’t let the music stop
Dancing through the Detroit nights
[Hook]
Sugar on my lips
Swingin' in my hips
Yeah!
[Post-Chorus]
Cherry red, so sweet
Dancing on the concrete
Cherry red, so fine
Wish that you were mine
[Verse]
Polished up his loafers
Shining like a brand new dime
I’m hiding in the corners
Wishing for a little time
Jukebox round the corner
Blaring out a heavy beat
Sun is getting warmer
Melting on the city street
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a cherry popsicle
Feeling so unstoppable
(Unstoppable!)
He looks my way
What am I supposed to say?
[Chorus]
Cherry red dream (Ooh, baby)
Sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
Meet me at the sock hop
Underneath the string lights
Don’t let the music stop
Dancing through the Detroit nights
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer playing loud and clear
Wish that you were standing here
(Standing here!)
Hammond organ starts to swell
Can’t you hear the wedding bell?
(Not yet, girl!)
Just a dance, just a glance
Give this shy girl half a chance
[Breakdown]
(Shaker rhythm)
Step to the left
Step to the right
Hold me tight
All through the night
One more time!
[Chorus]
Cherry red dream (Ooh, baby)
Sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
Meet me at the sock hop
Underneath the string lights
Don’t let the music stop
Dancing through the Detroit nights
[Post-Chorus]
Detroit nights
(Underneath the lights)
It feels so right
(Out of sight!)
Cherry red dream
[Outro]
